Geneva Cutlerly Corp. straight-razor ''Special A''

[thrillbilly]

was in a antique shoppe today, saw this razor, figgered for 14$ it could come home with me. Also had a old 'stone for 3$.

they even wrapped it old-skool LOL

Anyone know anything about these? I dunno if they are worth a dime, but I figgered for 17$ I aint too concerned. The razor is still sharp enough to do it's intended purpose!

Geneva makes a good razor, I havent shaved with one yet, but I have one. whenever I get it honed, I will use it.

I have heard from a lot of people that they are good shavers. A good general rule of thumb is that any straight that you buy from an antique shop should be honed, but that is just what I have heard



The razor does look pretty good, it seems to have a lot of hone wear, especially the toe of the razor, making it thinner at the tip than the base of the blade.

Someone who is skilled in honing these will be able to make it shave ready again.
